(manzarek-rogersband.com) When I heard Jonathan Winters
died my first thoughts were, “His final legacy will be Smurfs 2!” But I have no
such head shaking contemplating late Doors’ keyboardist Manzarek’s last work.
Though the kind of quirk art blues rock he did with quirk art blues rocker Roy
Rogers may not appeal to all, it is so proud and bold there is no doubt the
collaboraters were thrilled with it. Some Doors-haters may find some of the
majesty and poetic aspirations unpleasantly familiar, but I do not like the
Doors myself, and I love the weirdness here, which is more Beefheart as bar
band than Morrison Hotel lounge. There is a goofy song here about what police
talk about that is so absurd, and Ray goes so nuts with his cop impersonation,
that I defy anyone to not enjoy it, even if you hate it! Other Voices indeed!
